From the Peace Memorial Park to the Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima is filled with must-visit locations, but our private Hiroshima tours take you to places not even your guidebook knows about. Explore crowded local hangouts like the Hondori shopping arcade, experience neon-lit nightlife, and amazing food, or admire treasures that once belonged to samurai lords at Hiroshima Castle on our Hiroshima private tours.

Explore outside the city center

But with our team of in-the-know local guides planning your private walking tours of Hiroshima, you’ll be able to get off the tourist trail and explore places rarely seen by visitors.

You might feel overwhelmed by the sheer selection of places to eat and foods to try, so having a local guide by your side on private Hiroshima tours will make all the difference. Try Hiroshima Okonomiyaki, the city’s version of the iconic “everything pancake”, fresh fish and oysters, and maple leaf-shaped cakes at hole-in-the-wall restaurants and tea houses that only locals know about on our Hiroshima private tours.

Ken was an absolutely wonderful host who carefully planned an itinerary according to our needs, adjusted to minor hiccups along the way, and took all the heartache out of ticket purchases etc.. We had a great day, learned plenty, and got some beautiful photos of the lovely city of Hiroshima and neighbouring Miyajima. Thank you sincerely, Ken!

We spent half a day with Masa as our personal guide to Miyajima Island. As it was our first time to Hiroshima and Miyajima, we found it incredibly helpful and informative to have Masa explain the history of the places we visited. Miyajima Island was simply beautiful with its temples and Itsukushima Shrine. We also took lots of pictures of the friendly deer there. The Floating Torii Gate was not to be missed. I guess when choosing a guide, the question I ask is could I have done this tour by myself. Yes I could….but I would not have learnt about the heart and soul of the place. Masa’s detailed explanation really made the day one of our “highlights” of our 2 week trip to Japan. Thank you Masa! Highly recommend.
